Rising Of The Feathers

4- Jade Mountain

As spring rolled around I had already pretty much mastered my flying. Apollo had done the same.

It was the first day of spring also meaning the first day of school. Apollo and Dewdrop were at my house so they could come with me to the school.

I lived in the Claws of The Clouds Mountains so we had about a 3 hour flight ahead of us.

Goldspot was coming with us but sadly Sphinx had something really important to help with in the Kingdom of Sand.

So now with Dewdrop wrapped in my normal silk to keep her warm and being carried By Goldspot we were off.

My mom had pre packed mid flight snacks so we only had to stop once to rest for about 10 minutes and a few stops for water.

Once we arrived on the entrance to the academy Goldspot started hugging me.

"Bye my little Sundrop." She said.

"Mommmmm I'll be fineee if you don't let go I'm gonna stab you with my stingers!" I said jokingly.

"Ok ok I love you make sure you write to me. Oh! And Apollo your mother told me to tell you, to make sure Dewdrop practices her reading!" My mother said as she got ready to fly away from the crowd of dragons.

"Bye!" We all said as she flew off.

We all turned towards the entrance. It felt like there was hundreds of dragons but I knew there were only 46 dragonets attending the school this year.

As we walked through the giant cave opening we were all surprised by a loud voice from next to us.

(I don't know if they were able to don't say anything because I haven't read book 15 yet but I'm writing this in the situation that the others were able to save the other Silkwings and Hivewings. Hivewings still live on the other continent though as well as some of the Poisonwings and Sapwings, about half of the Silkwings stayed on Pantala and the other half now lived on Pyrrhia.)

"Hello!" A purple Silkwing with pretty blue wings said.

"I'm Blue!" The dragon said.

After a moment of thinking I remembered where I knew that name from.

"Oh you help teach power studies right?" I asked.

"Yup I sure do!" He answered.

"Wait... why though the teachers for that class all have rare power or uncommon powers like Peril's Firescales and Moonwatcher's mind reading alongside future sight." I thought out loud.

"Oh thats pretty simple! I have Flamesilk which is a very rare Silkwing power." He explained.

I stared at him blankly before Dewdrop broke the silence with her silly little voice.

"Wow! Yucca he's a Flamesilk! Just like you!" She said while hopping up and down.

"Oh? You're a Flamesilk?" Blue asked.

"Erm yea I just had my metamorphosis a few months ago in the fall time. My grandpa was one." I answered.

"Well that should be fine if you don't already know how I can help you master using it." Blue said with a smile.

I smiled back before asking, "That would be great, also can you tell us where our sleeping caves are? All of us expect Dewdrop are sharing one."

"What are your names?" He asked.

"I'm Yucca the dragonet without her wings is Dewdrop and the other one is Apollo." I answered for the others.

"Apollo, Yucca, and Dewdrop..." He mumbled while looking over a scroll.
